Sociobiology: New Synthesis to książka W. O. Wilsona, która w 1975 roku zapoczątkowała słynny spór o socjobiologię. Stanowi on współczesną odmianę kilkusetletniego sporu o istotę i naturę człowieka. Problem dotyczy czynnika determinującego zachowania istot żywych, w szczególności zaś człowieka. W spór zaangażowały się dwie strony. Z jednej byli to socjobiolodzy pod przewodnictwem Wilsona. Z drugiej strony zaś lewicowi naukowcy i studenci związani z Sociobiology Study Group of Science for the People. W pierwszej fazie spór przebiegał bardzo intensywnie i miał charakter polityczny. Z czasem złagodniał i przybrał charakter merytoryczny. Spór o socjobiologię trwa nadal. Obie jego strony zgodziły się na zawieszenie broni, zachowując gotowość do jej użycia przy każdej nadarzającej się ku temu okazji.

“Sociobiology: New Synthesis” is a book written by W. O. Wilson, which in l975 started the famous dispute over sociobiology. The dispute is the contemporary version of the old one about the nature of man. The issue concerns the factor, which determines the behaviours of living organisms, especially human beings. Two groups took part in that dispute. On one side, there were sociobiologists under the leadership of Wilson. On other, there were left-wing scientists and students connected with Sociobiology Study Group of Science for the People. In the first stage, the dispute was very intense and political, however, it soon became more content-related. The dispute is not over yet. Both sides agreed to a ceasefire, but they are ready to open it at any time.

The experience of animality, common denominator of human and nonhuman animal life, is the core concern of Animal Studies. An interdisciplinary project whose methodological spectrum embraces both experiential and observational ways of knowing, Animal Studies poses both moral and scientific questions and pursues both academic and activist goals. By training multiperspectival attention upon the experience of animality, Animal Studies can and does cultivate what environmental philosopher Arne Naess first theorized as “deep ecology.” Sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson hypothesizes a biological capacity for deep ecological thinking, an aesthetic and affective responsiveness to nature that he calls “biophilia.” By allying biophilia with biology, Animal Studies can focus the power of both naturalism and natural science upon today’s looming environmental threats to animality in its many earthly forms, including our own.
